Grow Your Best Fresh Peppers at Home
When you buy starter plants, you’re getting young live plants that are already several weeks old, which can help you make up for lost time in your garden.
Growing fresh peppers should be fun?not stressful. We care for our seedlings in a way that encourages strong roots and vigorous growth. Your plants will be well on their way to maturity once received, thus speeding up the growing process.
When you start with a Bonnie Plant, your plant is closer to maturity, which means you’ll be able to start harvesting and enjoying your homegrown fresh peppers much faster than if you started with a seed.
Peppers are a great easy-to-grow vegetable option for your at-home garden. Look for varieties that are compact if you want to avoid staking. Be sure to plant them in an area that receives 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily. Check the plant tags for complete instructions.
Watering is key for pepper plants, as they need consistent soil moisture to yield well. When the top inch is dry, you need to water.
Peppers will start out green and turn to their mature color as they ripen. Use pruning shears or a sharp knife to cut peppers with a short stub of stem attached. You can store almost ripe peppers in a warm spot, like a kitchen counter or near a bright window. If you see any softening, move them to the fridge.
